WPForo – Private Messages

WPForo – Private Messages is an add-on that introduces direct messaging functionality to the wpForo forum plugin. It allows users to communicate privately within the forum environment, rather than relying on external tools. As a result, communities can support both public discussions and private conversations in one place.

With this add-on, users can send and receive messages that remain visible only to the participants involved. In addition, conversations can take place between two users or multiple members in group discussions. Messages function similarly to email threads, yet they stay fully integrated within the forum system and use usernames instead of personal contact details.

Moreover, WPForo – Private Messages includes built-in tools for managing conversations, which improves usability and moderation. For example, users can block contacts, report messages, or organize conversations easily. Therefore, the add-on helps maintain a controlled and user-friendly communication experience.

Furthermore, the plugin integrates directly with user profiles and permissions, ensuring that messaging features align with forum roles. Consequently, administrators can manage who can send messages and restrict access when needed.
